Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
wait, some peat-like notes that aren’t smoky, that’s not very common. What’s amazing is how this baby travels throughout both the fruit and the spice departments, while keeping perfect balance and freshness. Lovely hints of manure and farmyard, perhaps even Islay mud and Cuban cigars, and bags and bags of fruits starting to ferment. Which is rather magnificent, mind you. Band-aid and a little antiseptic
restaurant Palate
once again it starts rather peaty (did some re-racking take place?) and goes on with many fruits, chiefly citrus (say pink grapefruits) before it becomes more herbal. A little myrtle, perhaps? An earthy side as well, always welcome. Roots. I’m really fond of this palate
timer Finish
long, superbly fresh and citrusy, with a very lovely herbal side (dill?) and then more coastal touches. Oyster juice?
